Looking for an Irish boys name…

Really struggling to come up with an Irish boys name.

I do like Fionn, but we already one in the family, and I’m stuck for anything else that I can imagine myself hollering in the playground.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

How do you pronounce Tadhg?

Tiger without the r.

Or that classic of the late 1970s, John Paul
Exactly! After the big man's visit we were wall to wall in John Paul's 😂

Can't see it already but Odhran (with a fada over the O) is a lovely soft name.

Hard to keep track of what's already listed, but nice or less common names I can think of are:

Fintan
Finn
Marcas
Fergal
Eamon
Declan
Cuan
Aidan
Nessan
Niall
Malachy
Mairtín
Rory
Fiach
Fiachra

And, Tadhg is gorgeous

Ultan

Is it your second son? If so, how about Dara?

I like Ferdia too, and I have fallen back in love with Patrick seeing Stephen McGann playing kind Dr Patrick in Call the Midwife.

There is no K in the Irish alphabet so it's Cian/Ciarán/Cillian etc.
Odhrán or Odhran but the fada does not go on the o
I love Oisín, Ruairí, Cathal, Rían and Lorcan or Lorcán

I love Oisín and Tadhg and think they go very well together. Eoin is lovely too.

I love Cillian. It doesn't seem popular in the UK?!

@TatianaBis

Cillian is the new Liam.
Yes, and Liam has now come full circle to me and sounds almost fresh!

I have a real soft spot for Conn for a boy, but we have one in the family already.
